(Chapter-43)

Out in the Zone Sam had returned with the stones needed, "Got 'em, according to Shego, Mots tunnel is about a hundred yards do west. With the way they have been tunneling it'll take them another three days to get here. For us we can intercept them in fifteen minutes." Faith took the crystal, "Lets do it." Faith turns and slams the crystal into the ground causing the crystal to form it's own tunnel.

Back at the school's Command Center Shego was going over some data when she dropped her pencil, "Damn they're walking right into a trap." Kim looked up, "What? What's Wrong?" Shego looked at Kim, "The tunnel they're intercepting is a fake. According to these latest readings there's enough tnt down there to take out half of Southern Califorina." Shego grabbed her mic, "Faith this is Shego...Faith...Slayer-One this is the Command Center, you need to answer."

Shego threw the mic down, "Damn, the tunnel must be blocking the signal." Kim stood, "What are you going to do?" Shego stood and headed to the weapons locker, "I need to get there as fast as I can and stop them." Kim placed a hand on Shego's arm, "What about the toxin?" Shego nodded, "Kimmy, If I don't they're all going to die." Before she could leave they felt the ground shake from an explosion inside the zone. Shego looked dowards the main doors, "Dear God No."

Kim and Shego ran outside with several others in time to see a massive fireball rise into the air. Rachael looked at Shego, "Do you think they were in there when the explosion happened?" Shego shook her head, "I don't know, go inside and get on the radio and try to raise Faith. Me and Kim are headed into the zone to see if we can find them." Rachael nodded, "Yes ma'am." A moment later Janet ran up, "What the hell was that?"

Shego looked at Janet, "Trouble, I need you to get all your medical supplies ready. From the way that explosion happend, you're going to have a lot of casualties." Janet nodded, I'll get ri...Sam, is Sam alright?" Shego looked at Janet, "You'll know when we know. Now go get ready." Shego called rachael, "Rachael, me and Kim are headed into the Zone let us know if Faith calles." Rachael nodded, "Right away Ma'am."

Several minutes earlier at the old high school Sam pressed another crystal in to finish the tunnel, "This is the last one." As she slamed it in a hand appeared trying to stop her. Sam jumped back, "What the hell?" A moment later an Uber-Vampire appeared up from the ground, "It's a trap you must run." Sam looked at Faith, "What..." Faith yelled, "EVERYBODY EVACUATE THE TUNNEL NOW!" A few moments after Sam left the tunnel the explosion accured.

Several minutes later, everyone was beginning to recover from the explosion. Faith sat up and gave a cough and looked at Buffy, "That's the first time I ever listened to a Vampire." Sam brushed the dirt off her clothes, "Why did that Vampire save our lives?" Faith shook her head, "Can't think about that right now, I want a count." Sam just nodded and began to take a count.

Inside Mots ship they weren't doing to well eather, the explosion resolted in half the ships systems being damaged. Mot got up off the floor, "What's the damage?" The first unas looked at his command screen, "Most of our systems including weapons and shields are no longer functioning. Life support is still operational but is down to thirty-five percent." Mot nodded, "What about internal and external sensors?" The first nodded, "They remain uneffected." Mot nodded, "Scan the tunnels that are going towards the Hellmouth?"

The first nodded and made the scan and sighed, "Just as I feared my Lord, The tunnels were destoryed. It'll take another two months to get back to where we were." Mot nodded, "Very well concentrate our remaining forces on the protection of the tunnel leading from the plant to the ship." Mot sat back, "How much explosives do we have left?" The First shook his head, "We have just enough to collaps the tunnel's entrance. and that should only hold the slayers off for at least an hour."

Mot nodded, "What is the status of our forces?" The first looked at his screen, "We are down to fifteen percent." Mot nodded, "What of the Slayers?" The first shook his head, "Unknown at this time." Mot sighed, "Can any of the shuttles launch, " The First turned, "No my Lord, the hangers were damaged during the explosion. Even if they could fly, they wouldn't be able to get out." Mot slamed his fists into his chair, "Damn those Slayers."

Back at the old high school Sam slowly walked up, "I have the count on Group-On. Out of the fifteen teams we came in with we have only nine left, as we know Team-Eleven was taken out by a group of Vampires, Demons and Unas. All the others were taken out from the explosion. I waiting for the count from the outher groups." A moment later Shego and Kim ran into the old school, "What the hell happened?" Faith looked up, "There was an explosion, and what the hell are you two doing here?" Shego shook her head, "We couldn't raise you on the radios."

Faith looked at her radio and looked at Sam, "It may have been the tunnels energy signature blocking the signal." Faith looked at Shego, "What did ya want?" Shego sighed, "We were trying to let you know that you were walking into a trap." Faith sat on some rubble, "We know, an Uber-Vampire warned. It's warning gave us enough time to get out of the tunnel, and into that foxhole." Kim looked around, "Why wasn't this building obliterated? in fact immortal or not, why aren't you all dead?"

Faith shrugged her shoulders, "Just lucky." Kim shook her head, "Nobody's this lucky." A moment later they heard a sound thay hadn't heard in a few months they looked over at an area that was clear of rubble and watch the TARDIS appear. Faith stood and smiled, "I think we're about to get our answer." A moment later the Doctor walked out and smiled, "We'll I see it worked." Faith looked at the Doctor, "What worked."

The Doctor smiled, "It was genius, I literally phased you and this building out of time for a few moments saving your lives and this building." Faith nodded, "What about the others." The Doctor gave a sad look, "I couldn't reach them, the range of the device I used was limited. Trust me, I would have saved them if I could." Faith gave a slight smile, "I know you would have Doctor, I just had to know is all."

The Doctor nodded, "Well, my work is done here. Got to go." Buffy smiled, "You're not gonna stay?" The Doctor shook his head, "Wish I could love, but Rose is on another planet getting the royal treatment and should be about done." Faith smiled, "You be careful you mavrick." The doctor smiled, "I'll try." The Doctor turned and a few moments later the TARDIS was gone."

Faith looked at Shego and Kim, "You two get back to the Command Center, even with the small amount of toxin that's in the air now is causing you to get burns." Shego nodded, "See ya when you get back." Faith smiled, "No problem." Faith looked at her watch, "Ok people lets wrap this up so we can go home." Buffy looked at Faith, "I'll have a complete count in a few hours." Faith just nodded and headed back outside.

At the Alpha site prison Kinsey was pacing his cell when a guard walked up and wispered, "Let's go sir, we only have a few minutes to get you to the Al'Kesh we have." Kinsey looked at the guard, "I want the pilot of that ship to set course for earth. I have a score to settle with SG-1 and a school full of slayers." The guard nodded, "Yes sir." Kinsey looked at his clothes, "And I want something else to wear." The guard smiled, "We have some clothes for you on the ship sir." Kinsey smiled, "Excellent."

Back on earth the battle was in a wind down stage, the 'Scooby Gang' has finaly takin control of the tunnel that lead to Mot's ship. The Air Force seeing that it was a good time to take the ship sent a few more troops. Shego had the slayer teams that remaind at the school joined in the action so the ship could be taken. All they had to do was wait for Faith to give the go ahead.

While sitting in the Command Center Shego looks up at the main screen just as Hammond called. Shego smiled, "General Hammond, what can I do for you?" Hammond sighed, "I need to speak with Major Carter." Shego shook her head, "She about to take Mot's ship, is there a message I can give her?" Hammond nodded, "Since it does concern you also, I believe I can tell you. Four hours ago earth's Greenwich Mean Time Robert Kinsey had escaped the Alpha Site Prison."

Shego sat back, "Does anyone know how he got out?" Hammond nodded, "It seems there was an NID operative at the prison, he was able to disable the systems long enough to get him out." Shego nodded, "I'll tell Sam what happened, but I want you to know General. If he comes here and tries to take my children, hurt the ones I love. I will kill him out right." Hammond nodded, "Understood, Hammond out."

Back in the Zone Faith was entering the tunnel to start the assult on the ship. Faith raised her weapon, "Lets do this." Just as she was about to enter the ship Shego called, "Sam this is Shego." Sam keyed her mic, "Go ahead Shego." Shego called back, "I'll make this brief. Robert Kinsey escaped the Alpha Site prison. Shego Out." Sam keyed her mic, "Kinsey escaped?" Sam waited for an answer but didn't get one. Sam looked at Faith, "What the hell was that about?"

Faith shook her head, "We'll find out when we get back to the school. But for now lets take this ship." As Faith was about reach for the latch to open the door into the ship she causiously puled her hand back and reached into her pocket and pulled out a Starfleet Tri-Corder and scanned the door, "It's clear." She looked back, "Once I open this door there's to be no talking, use hand signals to communicate. Lets go." Faith opened the hatch door into the ship and motioned for all the teams to spread out.

In his Command Center Mot sat in his chair defeated, "I see no other choice but to surrender." The first bowed, "What ever you command my Lord, I will obey." Mot took a deep breath, "Signal the Slayers, We Surrender. Have all the rest of the Unas put their weapons down." The First nodded, "And what of the Vampirews and Demons?" Mot Sat back arced his arms and folded his hands under his chin, "Kill 'em all, they served their purpose." The first nodded and smiled, "With pleasure my Lord."

With in minutes the last of the Demons and Vampires that served Mot were eather killed off by Mots' Unas or by the 'Scooby Gang' and the other Slayer teams. Faith was looking around, "That takes care of the Vampires and Demons, Now where are the Unas?" A moment later Faith was being called by Mot, "This is Mot, I here by surrender to you unconditionally. This is no trick, the entrance to my Command Center is open and I await for your arrieval."

Faith looked at everyone, "Be on alert it could be a trick." A few minutes later they were standing in the Command Center of Mots' ship. Faith looked at Mot, "I should kill you where you stand for what you did to my girls." Mot nodded, "You could, but you won't. The infromation I know could be very useful." Faith walked up to Mot and was now face to face, "And that's whay I'm letting you live."

An hour later Mot and what was left of his Unas werelocked up in a security cell. Faith and the others were now in the school's Command Center. Sam looked at Shego, "Did General Hammond say how he escaped?" Shego nodded, "it seems the NID had a man on the inside of the prison. He was able to disable the security system long enough to get him out." Kim looked at Shego, "Did Hammond say anything about Kinsey returning to earth?"

Shego shook her head, "No, but I suspect he will. And I already told General Hammond I won't be taking him prisoner this time." Shego stood up and left the Command Center. Faith raised her eyebrows is surprise, "I think we better find Kinsey first before she does." Sam looked at Faith, "Why? he'll only get what he deserves." Faith nodded, "I know, but I don't want to see Shego become a cold blooded killer."

Some where in orbit around Mars, Kinsey was going over some plans that will get him Shego and Kim's daughters. But will also get him the blood samples he wants. Kinsey looked down at the papers and then at the pilot, "Activate the cloak and head for earth, if these plans go right I'll have what I want."

A moment later the pilot turned, "Sir, there's two EBC-303s in orbit." Kinsey looked up, "Can they detect us?" The pilot shook his head, "I don't think so. I not worried about being detected here in space, its when we enter earth's atmospher." Kinsey nodded, "That's right, as we enter the atmospher the air around the Al'Kesh will heat up. Do your best to get us in with out being detected." The pilot nodded, "Yes sir." The young man turned the Al'Kesh towards earth to make his run.
